Hoping some British Expat ladies could help me with some advice? DD is going on a Science trip to Yorkshire towards the end of March and I am not sure what she will need in the way of a coat. They will be doing field work outdoors so presumably waterproof and warm but how warm? She has a ski jacket but worried it might be too short and too warm. Any advice on what I should get and from where? Many thanks.

OK so do ski-pants pass as water proof pants?

Thanks for this Jowori, was just about to start the same thread because me and my boy will also be in Yorkshire from March. I dont have any idea at all as to what we'll need clothes wise but I am looking forward to wearing my first winter coat for 30 odd years. I bought it in Markies just in case I ever needed it and hey presto - my just in case happened.

She will need layers and a waterproof jacket. I wouldn't bother with a scarf or hat as it won't be that cold at the end of march. The days will be longer as the clocks would have gone forward by then, she will have a great time spring in the uk is my favourite time of year

Hello CheekyMonkey, she is going to Malham Tarn, Yorkshire Dales. How lovely, great part of the country, she'll have a fab time! In which case, she's going to need all the warm clothes she can muster. As SW says, waterproof trousers are a good way to go too! A waterproof coat with a removable fleece lining and built in hood are good. I got a nice one from Timberland and my husband has a lovely one from Columbia.

Also some fold away waterproof trousers and a cagoule type jacket she can pack away in a rucksack and bring out when the heavens open. A good pair of wellies, warm long socks (good wool walking ones) and a fleece and jacket. Oh and a woolley hat and scarf. <em>edited by Sticky Wicket on 18/02/2011</em>

OO, my neck of the woods! Whereabouts in Yorkshire? Some bits are wilder than others haha! It [i'>could[/i'> be quite nice, as in just a nice thick woolly jumper, but to be honest it is more likely to be really, really, cold, wet and windy. I suggest lots of layers: vest type T-shirt, long sleeved T-shirt, fleece and coat. May need them all and if she is working outside will start off cold and then warm up and can take off a layer or two... I would also suggest nice thick tights to wear under her jeans / trousers and nice thick socks to wear inside her boots too! edited by Cheeky Monkey on 18/02/2011 Edited twice because I can't spell!! <em>edited by Cheeky Monkey on 18/02/2011</em>

Hi Izzy, just ordered the wellies from the US so that is organised but was not sure if we need an ordinary cloth coat with waterproof jacket over or a waterproof coat/jacket with down etc. ? What sort of coat would you suggest?

March will be cold compared to here. She will need a proper coat, hat, gloves, scarf and boots. Also will need waterproof jacket and maybe wellies.
